sched_ext: Pass the initial cpu.idle state in scx_cgroup_init_args

Browse source

scx_cgroup_init_args carries the initial weight and bandwidth control
parameters of a cgroup to ops.cgroup_init(), but not its cpu.idle
state. A cgroup that was already configured idle before the scheduler
was loaded (or before it was onlined under it) is presented as
non-idle, and the BPF scheduler only learns about it if cpu.idle is
written again later.

Add the sched_idle state to scx_cgroup_init_args and fill it in all
four places that build the args: scx_tg_online() for cgroups onlined
under the scheduler, scx_cgroup_init() for cgroups that already exist
when the scheduler is loaded, and the sub-scheduler handover paths
scx_cgroup_claim_subtree() and scx_cgroup_return_subtree().

Verified in a VM with a probe scheduler printing the init args: a
cgroup configured cpu.idle=1 before loading shows sched_idle=1 in
ops.cgroup_init(), the default shows 0, and later cpu.idle writes
still come through ops.cgroup_set_idle(). The sub-scheduler paths
are compile-tested only.
